Stable real estate market in the second quarter of 2026, rentals growing

In the period April-June 2026, home sales were essentially stable: the comparison with the same quarter of 2025, in fact, shows an increase of 0.1%, supported, in particular, by sales carried out in the capital municipalities and in the areas of the South and North-West. The growth in rentals is more decisive, recording a trend growth of 3.1% and an even more sustained dynamic in municipalities with high housing tension (+3.7%). This is what emerges from the second quarter data of the Real Estate Market Observatory (OMI) of the Revenue Agency.

Sales of shops and laboratories, +5.7%, and warehouses and garages, +5.2%, support the non-residential market, which is growing compared to the same period last year (+2.6%). In general, the entire commercial tertiary sector presents positive numbers: +4.7% over 2025. The production sector also returns to growth, recording an increase of almost 3%. Finally, a slight decline of 0.6% was recorded for office sales.
